This Tuesday it is my cousin Ramon’s birthday and today I made him this card. For my card I used the sketch from the Sketch Saturday blog. I used a stamped image from High hopes for my card. I colored the giraffe with derwent pencils. Years ago when I didn’t make cards, I was always making dolls and stuffed animals. On one day I was crafting together with my mum and aunt and Ramon also decided to join our crafting session. He started making eyelashes for the mice we were making and he was doing all kinds of other stuff to make them really trashy ;). So I wanted to let the giraffe look a little bit like that. I gave him eyes with real long eyelashes and a moustache. The eyes were made from little punched dots and the moustache and eyelashes were made from dolls hair. :) As my base I used a dark brown cardstock from Bazzil. On a piece of white paper I printed the striped background. The triangles in the corner are made with a punch. The sentiment from Elzybells was stamped with Versamark ink and then I added white embossing powder. The name Ramon was made with the Rollerskate alphabet from Quickutz. The little glasses are punches and I colored them with a clear spica glitter pen.

Cute card, nicely coloured. Like your strong patterns and use of images throughout your blog :)Why not pop over to 'Bee Crafty' and check out the new bunny downloads and maybe join our competition.- Bee Craftywww.bee-crafty.blogspot.com
